Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicament technology, and relates to the novel substituted hydrazide compounds, the geometrical isomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates or prodrug thereof, and the preparation method thereof as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. The present invention further relates to the uses of the derivatives for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer and other proliferative diseases.
Background of the Invention
[0002] Cancer is a disease seriously threatening human life. According to the statistics of WHO in 2008, people died of cancer in 2007 amounts to 7.9 million, which represents about 13% of all death tolls. Recently, with a deeper study into the tumorigenesis mechanism, the molecular mechanisms involving in the genesis and development of cancer are revealed gradually, and anti-tumor drugs have developed from initial cytotoxic drugs into tumor-specific targeted drugs.
[0003] Cell death can be divided into necrosis and programmed cell death, of which the most important type is apoptosis. Recent studies have revealed that the tumorigenesis and progression are resulted from not only uncontrolled cell proliferation and abnormal differentiation, but also imbalance of apoptosis. Apoptosis is a cell active death progress under the control of related genes which is triggered by a change of insider and outside environments or death signal, and can eliminate aged cells and potentially abnormal growing cells in vivo under physiological conditions. Therefore, it plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis in vivo. With a deeper study into the mechanism of apoptosis, many proteins have been identified to involve in apoptosis, including IAP family proteins, Smac/DIABLO protein, Bcl-2 family proteins, P53 gene, Proteasome proteinase, Caspase family proteins and so on.
[0004] Chemistry Professor Paul J. Hergenrother et al. in University of Illinois found a small molecule compound PAC-1 by screening more than 20000 compounds with different structures. PAC-1 could activate Procaspase-3 directly and induce the apoptosis of cancer cells. Studies showed that PAC-1 could activate Procaspase-3 significantly both in vitro and in vivo, and cancer cells would be also induced to apoptosis within 23 hours after treatment with PAC-1.
Based on the references, the inventor designs and synthesizes a serial of substituted hydrazide compounds, which are shown to possess a strong antitumor activity and little side effect by in vitro screening assay for antitumor activity on various tumor cell strains.

Pharmacological study of products of the invention
[0099] The substituted hydrazide compounds of above formula I of the invention were screened for antitumor activity in vitro.
Antitumor activity assay in vitro
[0100] (1) Five cell strains, SK-N-SH (hunman neuroblastoma cell), NCI-H226 (human lung cancer cell), Bel7402 (human liver cancer cell), A549 (human non-small cell lung cancer), and MCF7 (human breast cancer cell), were thawed and stably passaged for two or three times, respectively, and then digested with trypsin solution (0.25%) so as to be removed from the bottom of culture flasks. The digested cell solution was poured into a centrifuge tube, to which culture media was added to stop the digestion. The centrifuge tube was centrifuged at 1300r/min for 3 min, the supernatant was removed gently and then 5 mL culture media was added. The cells were piepetted and mixed homogeneously. 10 µL cell suspension was taken into a cell counting plate for counting, wherein the cell concentration was adjusted to 104 cells/well. Each well of the 96-well plates, except for A 1 well as blank control, contained 100 µL cell suspension. The 96-well plates were placed in an incubator and cultivated for 24 hours.
[0101] (2) 50 µL dimethyl sulfoxide was used to dissolve the test samples, and then a suitable amount of culture media was added so as to reach a final concentration of 2 mg/mL. Then the samples were diluted to 100, 20, 4, 0.8, 0.16 µg/mL in a 24-well plate, respectively. There were three wells for each concentration, wherein the cell growth in the surrounding two rows and columns was significantly influenced by environments and thus only taken as blank cell wells. The 96-well plates were placed in an incubator and cultivated for 72 hours.
[0102] (3) The culture media containing the compounds in the 96-well plates was discarded, and the cells were washed with phosphate buffered solution (PBS) twice. Each well was added with 100 µL MTT (tetrazole) (0.5 mg/mL), and then placed in an incubator to incubate for 4 hours, after which MTT solution was discarded and 100 µL dimethyl sulfoxide was added thereto. The reaction product of survival cells with MTT, i.e. formazan, was dissolved completely by oscillation on a magnetic oscillator, then placed into a microplate reader to measure the results, and the IC50 values of compounds could be deduced by Bliss method. The control, N'-[(2-hydroxy-3-allyl)phenylmethylene]-2-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)acethydrazide(PAC-1), was produced according to the method of patent WO2008/134474 A2.
[0103] The in vitro activity of the compounds against tumor cells was shown in Table 1.
